Circulating and plateout activity program for gas-cooled reactors with arbitrary radioactive chains

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7011527· OSTI ID:7011527
A time-dependent method for estimating the fuel body, circulating, plateout, and filter inventory of a high temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) during normal operation is discussed. The primary coolant model accounts for the source, buildup, decay, and cleanup of isotopes that are gas borne inside the prestressed concrete reactor vessel (PCRV). This method has been implemented in the SUVIUS computer program that is described in detail.
